Level the Washer
Properly leveling and locking the feet on your washer avoids
excessive noise and vibration.
1. Check that the four locknuts on the washer feet are tightened
against the washer cabinet using a 14 mm open-end wrench.
2. Place the washer in its final location and check the levelness
of the washer. The washer should not move front to back,
side to side, or diagonally when pushed on its top edges.
Make sure all four feet are stable and resting on the floor.
3. If the washer is not level, move the washer out slightly before
tipping back. First prop the front with a wood block, loosen
the locknuts and adjust the feet as necessary; then prop the
back and adjust feet as necessary. Repeat steps 1-3 until the
washer is level.
IMPORTANT: All four feet must be tightened. If the locknuts are
not tight against the washer cabinet, the washer may vibrate.
